Why “boys will be boys” and “girls are gentle” are misleading
Gender-based phrases like 'boys will be boys' and 'girls are gentle' limit children's emotional growth and build harmful stereotypes. These labels can suppress individuality, affect self-worth, and create unequal expectations, impacting future relationships and career choices. Replacing such language with empathy and accountability fosters confident, balanced adults.
